Top 5 of the Week: DESIGN!

In the Store:  Michael Smith explores the simplification of form, composition, design, repetition & color relationships in his new group of paintings, "The Sectional Series" opening tonight at 6pm.

In the Studio:  Upstairs from our studio is home to Grenald Waldron Associates, an award winning lighting design firm known locally for illuminating Boathouse Row and the Ben Franklin Bridge, among others.  Nationally their resume includes the Whitehouse, Smithsonian, and the list goes on.
In the Neighborhood:  The long-anticipated Venturi-designed Narberth Ave Bridge promises to be the pinnacle of local architectural design when completed in 2015.  We are hopeful that this addition to Narberth's landscape will continue to build our town's status as one of the suburb's premier communities.

In the Arts Community:  "Design Philadelphia," the annual city-wide celebration honoring the vital role of design in our region, returns with 120 events around the city October 10-14.  One of our favorites is the Resource Exchange where film and theater salvage become the materials for a daily design challenge.

At Your Home:  There are so many great resources online for the diy decorator.  We find inspiring ideas at ApartmentTherapy.com, DesignSponge.com and PoppyTalk.com.
